The phone in Shi Nian's hand fell directly to the ground.

"Niannian, what's wrong?" Ye Chen hurriedly walked to her side and asked with concern.

Shi Nian's face was pale and her whole body was ice cold.

When Ye Chen touched her, that deep-seated resistance welled up again.

"Don't touch me!"

She pushed Ye Chen away forcefully, her face ashen.

"Nian Nian..."

Shi Nian stared at him with bloodshot eyes.

Finally, without saying anything, he turned and ran out of the study.

Those shadows, etched deep into her soul, are not something she can simply forget.

Unless she becomes terminally ill again, like in her previous life, to the point that her mind is filled with nothing but him, she won't be able to forget everything he has done.

…

The old man's funeral began the next day.

Shi Nian's maternal grandfather fell ill upon hearing the news of Old Master Bo's death and was unable to attend the funeral. Rong Qing and Feng Jue came to pay their respects.

Originally, Master Shi only allowed Rong Qing to come.

But Feng Jue wanted to see Ye Chen, so she came along too.

In his previous life, he had lost a lot of his power because he cast a spell on Shi Nian, so even when he saw Ye Chen later, he was unable to figure out anything.

He now wanted to see if he could glean any clues about what had happened to Shi Nian in her past life from Ye Chen.

After all, when he found Shi Nian, Ye Chen was the closest person to her, and the only person she could be close to.

Therefore, starting with him is the most effective approach.

After leaving the mourning hall, the two went to the Bo family's back garden.

They walked towards a less crowded area.

As they walked, Rong Qing asked, "Did you notice anything?"

Feng Jue glanced at him irritably, "How could you possibly tell in such a short time of offering incense? I need to find an opportunity to cast a spell on him alone."

Rong Qing frowned slightly. "That might be a bit difficult. It probably won't work today. As the new head of the family, and with Elder Bo as his father, he has to guard the hall. We'll have to kidnap him."

But that's obviously not going to work.

With so many people on Bo's territory today, it's not a good time to make a move.

"If we can't find an opportunity, then we'll just have to wait until next time." Feng Jue shrugged.

At this moment, Ye Chen also entered the garden, searching for Rong Qing's whereabouts.

He also asked around yesterday what happened to the old man, why he suddenly changed so much, and why he eventually committed suicide.

The final answer was the same as what Shi Nian had given.

Rong Qing visited the old man the day before yesterday.

Before meeting Rong Qing alone, the old man was just as optimistic and energetic as ever.

But after meeting Rong Qing, he never left the room.

During that time, apart from him visiting the old man's study, no one else entered the old man's study.

When the old man came out of his study that evening, everyone could see that he had changed.

Therefore, the problem can only lie with Rong Qing!

He wanted to find Rong Qing and ask him what he had said to the old man, and why the old man had committed suicide!

Although the old man's funeral is the priority now.

But he couldn't control himself and wanted to know the reason as soon as possible!

At this moment, he could already see Rong Qing's figure in the distance.

He immediately put on a stern face and walked towards Rong Qing's direction.

But as he approached, he overheard Rong Qing and Feng Jue's conversation and unconsciously slowed his pace, continuing to approach silently...

At this moment, Feng Jue suddenly asked Rong Qing, "Did you come to see Elder Bo the day before yesterday?"

Rong Qing nodded and replied gently, "Yes, I've looked for it."
